Sporty and powerful, this Maxima delivers a great combination of performance and luxury in a sport sedan. This car is a bargain-leader in an age when buyers are dropping thousands more on four-door passenger cars that have little more to offer by way of luxury and performance than you can find on a Maxima. The SL trim means upgrades with leather upholstery, woodgrain interior trim, heated seats, xenon HID headlamps, a premium eight-speaker Bose stereo, and many other conveniences. It rides on a softer suspension with 17-inch wheels and tires. The seats in the SL look nice and feel firm yet pillowy, supportive and luxurious at the same time. You dream of all-day interstate cruises in seats like these! Cruising on the highway is effortless in this Maxima, and the 3.5-liter V6 pulls strongly in passing situations. In fact, the Nissan V6 has such a broad power band that this sedan is happy being either a high-revving hard-charger or a boulevard loafer. You can keep the engine at high revs to extract the most acceleration on challenging roads, or you can lug it along at a cruising pace without concern. It’s a great engine, and no wonder it has become one of the most popular choices in sport-compact drag racing of the Fast & Furious type. This beautiful car is individualistic and indulgently luxurious, with innovative styling and interior features. Its engine is powerful and its ride is smooth and quiet. Its interior is innovative and comfortable. What’s not to like??
